Welcome back to our weekly installment of The Pam Ward Chronicles. I'm going to be keeping track of the Announcing Quotes throughout the day and I ask that you join in. Please leave any that you come across in the comments.

We are in for a treat today folks! Our good friend Pammy is kicking off today's action at 11am....nice and early. We're also starting the Chronicles is weekend with some gems from Chris Spielman during last night's Navy-Rutgers game. It might be tough for someone to beat him, but we'll see....

Both teams pride themselves on being intelligent football players.”- Chris Spielman

The linesman called that from all the way across the field.”- Chris Spielman“Well he’s the HEAD linesman.”- Craig James“He’s the Head EYESman.”- Chris Spielman

If his shoulders are pointed at a 45 then it’s a pass.- Chris SpielmanYou’re telling me you played in the NFL and you ran angles?- Craig JamesYou were a junior before you knew what a 45 degree angle was.- Sean McDonough

"The Defense has been getting a lot of credibility, a lot of publicity I mean...more airplay than the Mary J. Blige song this week."- Desmond Howard

Just because....

Please eat something Erin....we are all concerned.

"Yeah where they're going to get into is the last five games in that Big East schedule. When they take on the like of Rutgers, Louisville, Pitt.....and......Connecticut."- Ray Bentley, Umm UConn? Really???

"Andre, we talked about the hardware, which is the physical, and the software, which is the mental aspect of the game."- Dave Pasch (Via Signal to Noise)

"...having a lot of distractions, then having to go into LSU for a game, that's just deadly."- John Saunders (Via Anon), Okay that's just bad.

"Tomatoes weren't around when Paterno started here."- Mike Patrick (Via Signal to Noise)

"That's not even a dead cat bounce, that's no bounce at all."- Todd Blackledge (Via Phil)

I heard this one live too.....what the hell does that even mean? Is that some old saying from 1912???

"Dead cat bounce" is a term used by stock traders. My wife used to be a trader at Charles Schwab and she was impressed by that usage.A dead cat bounce is when a stock falls like...oh...Michigan's football program then goes up a skosh when bottom feeders buy it. So that's a very nice analogy! Well challenged, Blackledge!!!!- smed

Well then.....good work Todd. I take it back.

"Well, save me a beer there, Lisa, I'll be down in a few minutes." - Brent Musberger (Via Signal to Noise)

Pammy just chimed in on the preview of the Boston College - NC State game by saying that "Oh, he should get an ovation," in response to being asked whether NCSU head coach (and ex-BC HC) Tom O' Brien should get an ovation or be booed.

Stop drinking the Rumplemints in the booth, Pammy. They f'ing HATE TOB at Boston College. They hated him before he left for Raleigh and it certainly isn't like they're going to cheer him for leaving now. Of course, you would have to follow college football to actually know that.

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA. What an unbelievable choice of words. How did I not hear that.

By the way, I think I've seen two consecutive sideline interviews/reporting pieces where they didn't show Erin Andrews on TV at all. They never waste an opportunity to do that, so maybe she really is anorexic or something.
